• Germany's soccer team defeated France in the World Cup quarter-finals Friday, sending German fans in the stadium and in Germany into a frenzy. Old habits die hard. The match was extra tough for the French because part of their team was cooperating with the Germans.
• The National Football League announced the referees are going to crack down this year on excessive celebrations. The dancing and finger-wagging and high-fiving is out of hand. NFL players are being ordered not to show off too much after a touchdown, a sack or a murder.
• The White House acknowledged the failure of the Border Patrol to stop the recent flood of refugees from Mexico. Guarding our border is a tough and grueling job. If we want to get the job done and done right, we're going to have to hire Mexicans to work for the Border Patrol.
• The U.S. Navy announced Monday it's begun testing an autonomous seagoing robot called the Mechanical Tuna which can fool enemy radar. It's built to completely blend in with the other sea life moving in the ocean. The Mechanical Tuna is made by Mercury, just like real tuna.
• Hurricane Arthur slammed into the outer banks of North Carolina Friday. It knocked out power for one hundred thousand people. The good news is that the families who jumped in their SUVs and headed north ahead of the hurricane were getting six hundred miles per gallon.
• President Obama ripped Congress for refusing to pass immigration reform. GOP House leaders said they don't trust Obama to enforce the border. Immigration reform advocates point out that illegal aliens will do the job Americans refuse to do, like run the U.S. government.
• President Obama dared Congress to sue him if they don't like the laws he's going to enact without Congress. His timing was unfortunate. On July 4th, a guy on the radio read the middle part of the Declaration of Independence and it sounded just like an anti-Obama rant.
